When first introduced, MSRP for the DVD-2500BTCI was k. I liked it and would have paid that much for it eventually. But when it went on sale for 0, I just couldn’t resist. Assuming Denon hasn’t substituted cheaper parts somewhere along the way, the current sale prices of under 0 are almost like legalized shoplifting. This is my first Blu-Ray player so I don’t have another to compare it to. But both picture and sound are outstanding. As long as you only need an HDMI output, and are patient at least in some regards, I can’t recommend this unit enough. Observed Strengths & Weaknesses below.
STRENGTHS:
With just about every receiver, pre/pro, etc., out there already having an array of surround decoders, D/A converters, etc., I found it annoying that these were duplicated and charged for in just about all DVD/Blu-Ray players. Not so in the DVD-2500BTCI, which is why it is called a “transport” instead of a “player.” You’re only paying for what you need…no useless stuff that’s duplicated elsewhere in a typical system.

I got this Momitsu Blu-ray player solely because I need a Region A or multi-region player to watch locked Criterion Blu-ray discs in the U.K.. This player has the advantage over straight US Blu-ray players in that it doesn’t need a step-down converter (the current is a variable 110V to 240V): it only needs a travel adaptor to convert the 2-pin U.S. plug into a U.K. or Euro fitting.
First off, image-wise the 799 excels in providing a clear, superbly detailed picture. Of course, it helps that I’m watching fantastic Criterion Blu-ray transfers. But it is apparant that the Momitsu can handle motion exceptionally well, which is after all a stumbling block for many -more expensive, bigger-name- Blu-ray players. Read more...
